Rajnath Singh, the defence minister, and Yogi Adiyanath, the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, both addressed rallies on Wednesday. The party has intensified its campaign in the state. In his speech to the "Vijay Sankalp" rally in west Agartala, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh attacked the Congress and the Communist Party of India (Marxist), comparing them to broken musical instruments.

"In Tripura, the sitar and the flute represent the opposing parties. The CPI(M) is a sitar with frayed strings, but the Congress is a flute with numerous holes in it. There is no longer any melody in them." Fear, hunger, and corruption were rampant during the CPI(M) administration in this state, and it wasn't until the BJP took office that things started to improve, said the Defence Minister.

Singh urged the populace to vote the BJP back into office in the state "We had five years, and in that time, we transformed Tripura. We'll make it the top state if you give us another five years." On February 16, there will be elections for the 60 seats. While voting will take place on February 27 in Meghalaya and Nagaland, respectively. On March 2, there will be a simultaneous vote count in all three states. However, the BJP is running alone in Meghalaya after vowing not to establish an alliance, despite the fact that it currently has one with the National People's Party (NPP).

The BJP is running in 20 out of 60 seats in Nagaland in an alliance with Nephew Rio's Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party (NDPP).
